When it comes to incorporating technology into learning, I've become a big advocate. I see it with my own kids- they can learn so much from various learning apps and apply that knowledge to their daily lives. I monitor everything they play and limit screen time to 30 minute increments. There are some days they spend more time in front of their devices than I like to admit, but we all have our off days when we just want to relax and play an ...

An Unexpected Hospital Visit With Our Newborn
My baby boy is two months old and I'm still trying to figure out where the time has gone. In the daze of middle of the night feedings and caring for two older children, my days have flown by.

Back to School With @UmiShoes + a Giveaway! #BTS2015

Take the Whole Grain Challenge with Nature’s Harvest Bread
Have you started thinking about what to pack for school lunches? I know we have about a month of summer left, but my girls are limited to what they can bring for lunch. One daughter is in a nut-free school, and the other is just so picky when it comes to cold lunches, so I have to be creative with both.
